Description
Choice Belt Pokémon Tool card from the Brilliant Stars expansion set. Featuring illustration by Studio Bora Inc., this 'Uncommon' rarity card (noted by the diamond symbol) is a staple for competitive play in the Sword & Shield era. Card number 135/172 with Regulation Mark 'F'.
Key Features
Highly playable 'Trainer-Item' card in the competitive TCG scene; includes damage-boosting effects for Pokémon V; Brilliant Stars set icon (starburst); Regulation Mark F.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Font styles, symbols for energy/details, and the copyright line (©2022 Pokémon / Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK) match genuine Brilliant Stars printing. Card stock texture appears consistent with standard 2022 prints.
Flaws to Note
Minor centering issues (the yellow border is thicker on the right side than the left). While protected by a sleeve, individual value is very low unless sold as a playset or part of a larger collection.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for singles), eBay (in bundles/playsets), or local card shops (as bulk trade-in).
Selling Tips
As a low-value uncommon, this is not worth selling individually on eBay due to shipping costs. Bundle it with a 'playset' (4 copies) or include it as a bonus in a Brilliant Stars set lot to maximize movement. If selling on TCGplayer, use a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep shipping overhead low.
